There are many open source software toolkits and libraries. My experience with these is mixed. Anyway, when you start working with these make sure that you have sufficient programming skills, and patience. But then the results might be better than you could obtain with more expensive commercial technology. If you run Linux, then open source is probably the only way to go. For windows users, with a unix background, there is cygwin, which is a linux-like environment for windows.
